EFCC Ministerial Accreditation
Enhancing the culture of EFCC.
Seminar 1
Intro to the EFCC: History, Ethos, Polity, and Current Issues
This three-part seminar builds on EFCC Orientation. It explores how EFCC history, ethos, and polity work in the local church context and how we ought to handle disagreements over practices linked to “in non-essentials, charity.” It also explores how our ethos influences how we approach and handle socially sensitive issues in our churches – both in how we teach and in how we minister in contemporary society.
Seminar Objectives
1. Help attendees understand the benefits of the Accreditation Process.
2. Help attendees understand and assess the strengths and weaknesses of the EFCC Our Character and Calling statement and ascertain their fit with the EFCC ethos.
3. Identify and explore key biblical foundations and practical implications of how diversity of thought works its way out in our polity and in practices.
4. Identify preferred ways to teach about non-essential issues and discern how to ensure that there are no “second class members” even when practices cannot accommodate opposing views.
5. Identify and explore EFCC approaches to socially sensitive issues and suggest ways both to teach about these issues and to minister to people struggling with them.
